Well hello there my little loves,
 
January is nearly over and we are well into the new year, but i wanted to share with you something that ive been using to keep myself motivated and stop me from snacking on my usual very unhealthy snacks.
 
 
We all do it, Start our diets on Monday, eat super healthy throughout the day and then when we get home from work/college/uni we just sit in front of our TV eating all sorts of crisps and chocolates. (no... just me then)
So it was nice to be able to find something that when i had those urges i could just pop into the kitchen and make a healthier choice that what i would usually have picked
 
Healthy Nibbles reached out for me to test their healthy snack box, all of which are vegan friendly. Im not a vegan so i don't know the ins and outs etc.. but it always makes me feel better when I use beauty products that i know haven't been tested on animals and eat food that are also kind to them too. Boxes can be customised too for gluten free, vegan , paleo, low gi and just general well being,.
 That's what i love about these boxes is that you don't have to be vegan, following a paleo diet or gluten free to enjoy there contents and believe you me they are super tasty.
 
"Healthy Nibbles is a new concept in vending; we're dedicated to health and wellness, supplying fully serviced and maintained SMARTvending machines stocked only with healthy nutritionally certified, sustainable products containing no nasties - delivering SMARTeating.
Winner of 'Best Newcomer 2015' - The Vendies"
 
They offer vending machines stacked with really good foods, corporiate boxes and also healthy snack boxes
I love the idea of this, and i wish more companies used brands like healthy nibbles in the workplace. Imagine going to a vending machine knowing that whatever you selected was going to be good for you. AMAZING.
The snack boxes are another amazing concept and that's what i was sent, right to my door. They are also in the middle of working on kids boxes too which i think is so good getting the little ones involved.
 
 
Anyway here is what i received and what i thought about each snack.
 
 
 
 
Hey Hey Hey,
 
Who doesn't love lush cosmetics? Especially their holiday collection .. Especially half the price?
 
Im a HUGE fan of lush but this year i never had a second to get myself into my local store to buy any new goodies. Every time i did the store was super busy.
I know i could buy online but i like going in, picking up a basket and filling it. After sniffing every item in there haha.
 
Cant deny that lush is a little bit overpriced i think. For something that you could only use once.
This year i decided to pick up some bits in their boxing day sale..
 
Okay i had to refresh the page a good couple of hundred times but i managed to get what i wanted in no time at all. I cant believe all the tweets that lush where getting. Its just a bath bomb at the end of the day.
 
I wouldn't have been phased at all if i wasn't able to get anything.
 
I placed my order and within a week it was at my door step in all its glory. There's some bits i have already tried but a whole load of new goodies that im so excited to add into my weekly pamper routine.
 
Just because Christmas is over doesn't mean that i cant enjoy a Christmassy themed bath most nights ;)
 
Anyway less off me blabbering on.. Heres what i picked up:
Hey there my lovelies,

Just a quick one with my goals for 2016.

Im not one for making resolutions and just take every day as it comes. This year though.. well the past few months I've been thinking about ways i can make my life and myself a little more positive.


So for 2016 I've decided a few changes need to be made and i need to start focusing on my life and where it is going abit more.
 
 
 
 Hello my lovelies
 
Long time no see, I've been just abit all over the place recently, and now i have a spare minute to myself i thought i would get in the festive spirit and share with you guys my bucket list for all the things i want to do over the festive period.
Im all about friends, family, cosy jumpers, mulled wine, loads of warm cosy layers and amazing memories

 
 
 
I AM SO EXCITED for Christmas this year, mainly because i have boxing day off work too which hasn't happened in nearly 7 years :) i cant wait to just stay in and watch Christmas movies, programs that i have missed from the day before and eat some left overs. One thing i WONT be doing is heading into the city centre to shop.. seriously it should be all about family, relaxing, chocolate and some leftover turkey, in fact you may even spend boxing day a little hungover. No need to spend this day fighting the crowds in stores for a bargain. Do it from the comfort of your own home on the internet in some big fluffy Christmas PJ's.
 
I love this type of post, i like to see what others are doing and also get some inspiration of some of the things i could be doing myself. So if you have done this post then please link it below. I might even have to edit this over and over after seeing other things that i might want to do :)
 
In no particular order
 
Go to a Christmas Market, myself and my boyfriend have all ready made plans to head over to Manchester for their markets. We went last year and it is just so Christmassy. Really gets you even more excited for Christmas, Although this year instead of eating from one of the stalls we are going to book into Tattu and eat there. The menu looks so yummy. Obviously mulled wine is involved here :)
 
Have a festive night out with the girls , a yearly must for myself and friends, We have a meal and drinks and have a lovely catch up.
 
Christmas Jumper - Again with my friends we meet up all wearing something festive, usually a jumper and some Christmas earrings.. the tackier the better. Sit with a lovely hot chocolate looking at all the Christmas lights outside.
 
Go to a Christmas carol concert, oh I've actually never done this and i think it would be so much fun to do. Might even belt out a Christmas carol or two myself.
 
 Make a gingerbread house - This is something that i would love to do with both my family and boyfriend. Again dressed super festive.
 
Decorate the tree/house -  Pretty self explanatory i do this with my boyfriend, my mum and sister in our house and in my grandparents house too.. with a lot of Christmas songs playing....
 
Listen to every Christmas song possible  - Magic is my channel of choice for any Christmas songs.. my fave is all i want for Christmas
 
 Watch Harry Potter- I don't know what it is but watching Harry Potter just gets me in the festive spirit so much. In fact myself and my other half have started watching this.. Oh i wish Hogwarts was real, and i think id be sorted into hufflepuff too
 
Watch Christmas movies-  Again another must with both family and my other half
 
Go Ice Skating-  My hometown of Liverpool has a ice rink every year so no doubt ile be dragging someone with me to go round that. Hopefully i can leave the sides haha
 
 
 
 
 
If we had snow in Liverpool.. well enough snow to be able to play with it and create snowmen then the possibilities would be endless.
 
Id love to go to Iceland too and see the northern lights in the future and go to the Harry Potter studios and see the great hall at Christmas
 
Well that's it from me ..

Hey there,

You may or may not know that last week i was invited by the lovely people at Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaar in Liverpool to their Art Of Style event that is in conjunction with the Liverpool Tate.
This was inspired by the current Jackson Pollock : Blind Spots exhibition
Jackson Pollock is widely considered one of the most important and provocative American artists of the twentieth century, who's work has made an immense contribution to abstract art.
To find out more information on this must see exhibition click here


Beauty Bazaar in association with the Tate are delivering a celebration of all things art and beauty. Customers can book in for daily artistic appointments with amazing brands such as NARS, Tom Ford colour (My choice) and Shu Uemura as well as contemporary brands such as Bobbi Brown, YSL, Laura Mercier and Benefit.
Its so good that Beauty Bazaar are doing this as it allows for consumers to combine inspiration from the movement of Jackson Pollock and the creative skills of the colour artists at Beauty Bazaar.
 
 
Well hello there,
 
You may or may not have seen on twitter and instagram that I have now added this into my collection. I've seen so many Youtubers and Bloggers Rave about this palette. So when Beauty Bay Selected me as the winner for there #FreebieFriday competition, I couldn't contain my excitement.
 
Happy Monday People,
 
 
Its been a while since I last posted and I've got to say i have really missed it. If you don't know I've been away for 2 weeks in Portugal, I stayed in the Algarve and spent most days enjoying the sun, eating all before me and drinking every night.
It was an amazing holiday and I can honestly say my skin has seen better days, what with the alcohol, greasy food and also my lack of makeup removal.
I did pack skincare minis but when i was swanning home at stupid o'clock , makeup removal was the furthest from my mind. I quite often opted for face wipes ( i know, please don't hate me hahah) which is just not a good enough cleanse.
 
As soon as i landed on British soil i couldn't wait to give my skin some TLC and take it back to how it was before my holiday.
I had a series of skin issues which needed tackling so instead of loading my skin with loads of products one after the other which i was sure would give me breakouts, I decided to do it all in one step.
My Skin was super dry , congested and clogged and could do with abit of brightening and exfoliating.
This Multi masking is making a debut and it makes so much sense to treat the different areas of your face with the mask that is going to match its needs.
